4. REQUESTED CHANGES: This change identifies administrative revisions to the 

MILSTRIP Chapter 6, Security Assistance Program (Enclosure 2); DLMS dictionary, and 

MILSTRIP Ap2.19, Security Assistance Type of Assistance and Financing Codes (Enclosure 3), 

and MILSBILLS Chapter 2, Billing Procedures (shown below). 

a. Revise MILSTRIP Chapter 6, Security Assistance Program, to make the following 

changes. The updated chapter text is shown at Enclosure 1 with revisions identified in bold 

italics. Outdated terminology or procedures have been corrected to include:

 Remove the term Military Assistance Program and the acronym MAP from the chapter. 

 C6.5.2.1 - Add a paragraph on the release of assets in support of a RAD entry. 

 C6.5.5.1 - Add a paragraph on extended RDDs in support of FMS requisitions. 
 Attachment Page 3

 C6.15.3.3.5 - Add a paragraph on storage charges being assessed when items are held 

due to a failure to respond to an NOA. 

 C621.2 - Add a paragraph on DLA’s billing for Type of Assistance Code C Grant Aid 

requisitions. 

 (1) Background: This change is primarily administrative, requiring no 

programming changes. This change accommodates the inclusion of a paragraph on the 

timeframe for shipments using a Required Availability Date (RAD), the use of extended 

Required Delivery Dates (RDDs), a paragraph regarding possible storage charges for materiel 

awaiting Notice of Availability (NOA) responses, and some minor changes to program names 

and acronyms. These changes incorporate guidance found in the DoD 5105.38M, Security 

Assistance Management Manual (SAMM). 

 (2) Reason For Change: These revisions ensure MILSTRIP Chapter 6, Security 

Assistance Program, and MILSBILLS chapter 2 are up-to-date and matches the SAMM. 

 (a) The clarification regarding storage charges is identified in MILSTRIP 

as a cautionary notice of potential consequence resulting from failure to respond to the Notice of 

Availability in a timely manner leaving material to remain in storage at the Distribution Depot. 

 (b) The clarification of the reimbursement requirement for Grant Aid 

requisitions identified with Type of Assistance Code C, is to align this document with the 

OUSD(C) policy issued in 1994 (see below) requiring all Working Capital Fund requisitions for 

Presidential Drawdowns to contain a funding source. It is believed that this has resulted in 

material being shipped to the SA countries without reimbursement to the seller (e.g. these 

requisitions have been processed as “free issue” rather than being properly billed). 

b. Revise the definition for Type Of Assistance Code “C” to read: 

“C Presidential determination to order defense articles from stock and performance of defense 

services to satisfy Grant Aid Requirements with reimbursement from subsequent military 

assistance appropriations (Section 506 of the FAA of 1961). All requests for Working Capital 

Fund activities (to include transportation), shall include a funding source to allow DWCF 

activities to be reimbursed by the military departments; orders will not be accepted without a 

funding source. (DoD FMR 7000.14R, Vol 12, paragraph 230502 and Vol 11B, paragraph 

110106.A.)”

 (1) Background: In 1994, OUSD(C) issued a policy requiring all Working 

Capital Fund requisitions for Presidential Drawdowns have a funding source, so DWCF 

activities can be reimbursed by the Military Departments without delay. Orders will not be 

accepted without a funding source. This policy is included in the DoD FMR 7000.14R, Vol 12, 

paragraph 230502 and Vol 11B, paragraph 110106.A. 

 

 (2) Reason for Change: The revised definition clarifies this policy to ensure all 

Working Capital Fund activity requests have a funding source. 

 c. Revise the definition for Type Of Assistance And Finance Code “M” to read: 
 Attachment Page 4

“M MAP Merger/USG Grants. The MAP, established under the mutual Defense Assistance 

Act of 1949, originally provided for the loan or grant of military equipment, materials, and 

services (including training) to eligible nations. Since FY 82, the authority of Section 503(a)(3) 

of the FAA of 1961 has been used to merge MAP funds with recipient countries funds and/or 

with FMS financing credit in the FMS Trust Fund, to make adequate funds available to finance 

the country’s FMS cases. In addition, since FY 06, other authorities have authorized granting of 

US appropriations for use for FMS.” 

 (1) Background: In 2006, DSCA was given authority to grant funds received 

from a State Department Appropriation. Procedures were established to control the funds 

granted and use existing codes that had comparable pricing policies and would not required a 

system change. It was determined that the policies associated with the MAP funding were 

comparable and therefore, guidance was published. 

 (2) Reason for Change: Update definitions to reflect correct policy and required 

practices. Note a prior update to MILSTRIP updated references to Military Traffic Management 

Commend (MTMC) to Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) 

(appears in multiple locations in the attached chapter). 

 d. Revise MILSBILLS Chapter 2 Billing Procedures, paragraph C2.1.1.4 as shown 

below. 

 C2.1.1.4. Drawdowns. 

 C2.1.1.4.1. Materiel requisitioned under authority of Section 506 of the Foreign 

Assistance Act1 must not be billed until funds are appropriated, with the exception of Working 

Capital Fund activities. The determination to use Section 506 does not provide obligation or 

disbursing authority. Section 506 permits the drawdown of existing DoD stocks subject to an 

appropriation to be made at a later date to effect reimbursement to the Defense account. Since 

there is no assurance that reimbursement will be received the transfers cannot be recorded as 

accounts receivable. Therefore, issues under Section 506 should be treated as transfers without 

reimbursement. The transaction should be reversed if appropriations are received to reimburse 

the appropriate accounts. Should Congress fail to appropriate funds for this purpose, the Defense 

account must absorb these costs. Section 506 drawdowns of GSA or other non-DoD stock are 

not authorized. 

C2.1.1.4.2. All requests for Working Capital Fund activities (to include 

transportation), shall include a funding source, allowing DWCF activities to be reimbursed by 

the military departments without delay. Orders will not be accepted without a funding source. 

DoD FMR 7000.14R, Vol 12, paragraph 230502 and Vol 11B, paragraph 110106.A.). 

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: These changes will bring in line what is stated by the existing law and 

policy and remove outdated information. This will ensure that the Military Departments are 

 

1

 Security assistance requisition with type of assistance code of “C.” 
 Attachment Page 5

aware they are responsible for reimbursing DWCF of all money for the services rendered. 

Revising the definition of a current code does not impact systems. 

b. Disadvantage: None. 

6. IMPACT: No systems impact has been identified. Comparable changes will be applied to 

the DLMS manual and the SAMM, DoD 5105.38M 

7. Additional DLMS information: DLA clarified procedures for the methodology used to 

implement the extended RDD under DLMS. This information will be included in the DLMS 

manual (equivalent to MILSTRIP paragraph C. 6.5.5.1.): 

In the case of DLA support, the extended RDDs will cause intentional holding of support. For 

those orders, the support date is calculated externally by DAASC upon receipt of the 

transaction and fed to the Enterprise Business System (EBS). DAASC sends SMS the actual 

Standard Delivery Date which in the case of extended (S-coded) RDDs will cause the order to 

go into BP status and be held until 50 days prior to the release date.

C6. CHAPTER 6

SECURITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

C6.1 GENERAL

 C6.1.1. The provisions of MILSTRIP apply to all phases of requisitioning and issue to 

support the Security Assistance Program; however, this chapter provides special procedures and 

instructions for preparing and processing FMS and Grant Aid requirements (see AP2.19) which 

are exceptions to other areas of the manual. 

C6.2. RESERVED

C6.3. REQUISITION FORMATS

 C6.3.1. Requisitions for FMS and Grant Aid materiel vary from the construction of 

requisitions in support of U.S. Forces. Codes peculiar to FMS and MAP Grant Aid requisitions 

are listed in the designated appendices and the DoD 4000.25-8-M (MAPAD) together with their 

meanings and applications. Specific FMS and MAP Grant Aid requisition entries are as follows: 

 C6.3.1.1. Grant Aid 

 C6.3.1.1. Requisitioner Field (rp 30-35) 

 C6.3.1.2. Rp 30 will contain the FMS and Grant Aid S/A code (AP2.2) of the 

U.S. Service Implementing Agency responsible for administering the Grant Aid Program line. 

 C6.3.1.3. Rp 31-32 will contain the country/activity code (AP2.18). 

 C6.3.1.4. Rp 33 will contain the customer-within-country/activity code to 

indicate the recipient or place of discharge within the country/activity (see MAPAD), with the 

exception of requisitions containing DI A05 with special one-time shipping instructions entered 

in the Remarks block of the requisition. In this instance, a DI A05 requisition may contain a zero 

in rp 33. The special instruction will include an address to receive documentation when 

documents are not to be forwarded to the ship-to address. The use of DI A05 requisitions will be 

limited to one-time situations where it is not practicable to designate the addresses by coded 

entries in the requisition and in the MAPAD. 

 C6.3.1.5. Rp 34 will contain a numeric zero (0). 

 C6.3.1.6. Rp 35 will contain the appropriate Grant Aid type of 

assistance/financing code (AP2.19). 

 C6.3.1.2. Supplementary Address Field (rp 45-50) 
 Enclosure 1, Page 2

 C6.3.1.2.1. Rp 45 will contain Y to indicate that the data entered in rp 46-50 are 

nonsignificant to the overall systems but are to be perpetuated in all subsequent documentation. 

 C6.3.1.2.2. Rp 46-50 will contain the RCN. This number is assigned by the 

appropriate Service activity and is constructed as follows: 

 C6.3.1.2.3. Rp 46 will contain the last digit of the program year in which the 

requisitioned item was approved and funded. 

 C6.3.1.2.4. Rp 47-50 will contain the four-position program line item number 

(alpha/numeric) or the program. 

 C6.3.2. Foreign Military Sales 

 C6.3.2.1. Requisitioner Field (rp 30-35) 

 C6.3.2.1.1. Rp 30 will contain the FMS and Grant Aid Service assignment 

code (AP2.2) of the U.S. Service Implementing Agency responsible for administering the FMS 

Case. 

 C6.3.2.1.2. Rp 31-32 will contain the country/activity code (AP2.18). 

 C6.3.2.1.3. Rp 33 will contain the customer-within-country code. This code 

will be assigned and recognized in conjunction with entries in rp 46-47. The application of the 

customer-within-country code in relation to coded entries in rp 46-47 is explained in paragraph 

C6.3.2.3., below. When a customer-within-country code is not applicable, a zero will be entered. 

 C6.3.2.1.4. Rp 34 will contain the FMS delivery term code (see the DTR or 

DLMS dictionary(LOGDRMS) for code definition and applicable values) to convey the point 

of delivery condition negotiated under the case agreement and must correspond to delivery terms 

specified in the applicable Letter of Offer and Acceptance. 

 C6.3.2.1.5. Rp 35 will contain the appropriate FMS type of assistance/financing 

code (AP2.19). 

 C6.3.2.2. Supplementary Address Field (rp 45-50) 

 C6.3.2.2.1. Rp 45 will contain the FMS and Grant Aid Service Code of the 

customer country’s requisitioning Service. This code is derived from AP2.2) and published as 

the Security Assistance Program Customer Service Designator in the DLMS dictionary 

(LOGDRMS). 

 C6.3.2.2.2. Rp 46 will contain the applicable country FMS offer/release option 

code (A, Y, or Z) or code X to denote that the United States is responsible for transportation 

arrangements, as determined by negotiations between the customer representative and the U.S. 

Service responsible for administering the FMS case, and as reflected in the Case Agreement 

(refer to MILSTRIP Terms and Definitions for Type of Country Security Assistance 

Offer/Release Options). FMS offer/release option codes are listed in the definitions and terms 
 Enclosure 1, Page 3

section of this manual with explanations of their application and recognition under FMS offer 

and release procedures. 

 C6.3.2.2.3. Rp 47 will contain a code to designate the recipient of shipments 

and documentation and will be the FMS country representative/freight forwarder (CR/FF ) code 

as published in the MAPAD. This entry and the use of code X or W will be applied and 

recognized in conjunction with the entry in rp 33 as explained in paragraph C6.3.2.3., below. 

 C6.3.2.2.4. Rp 48-50 will contain the specific FMS case designator consisting 

of a three-position alpha/numeric code. The first position will always be alphabetic and the 

second and third positions may be alphabetic or numeric. All correspondence (such as letters 

and messages) will always include the appropriate case identifier composed of the two digit 

country/activity code, one digit Implementing Agency code, and the three digit case designator 

as part of the identification data.

 C6.3.2.3. Designation of Shipment Addresses for Foreign Military Sales 

 C6.3.2.3.1. The means of expressing ship-to and/or mark-for addresses in 

requisitions are the entries shown in rp 33 (customer-within-country) and rp 47 (CR/FF), 

respectively. The designation of such addresses will be consistent with delivery terms contained 

in the case agreement. Specific codes will not be utilized in requisitions until such time as the 

codes and corresponding addresses are published in the MAPAD. 

 C6.3.2.3.1.1. The DAAS will reject requisitions, referral orders, passing 

orders, DI AT_ follow-ups, and DI AM_ modifiers, containing MAPACs that do not have valid 

ship-to and mail-to addresses in the MAPAD, to the submitting ILCO. (Supply Status (DI AE9) 

with Status Code DP applies.) 

 C6.3.2.3.1.2. The ICPs may reject requisitions received off-line (mail, 

message, courier, fax, telephone) which contain MAPACs that do not have valid ship-to and 

mail-to addresses in the MAPAD, to the submitting ILCO. This includes remarks/exception type 

DI A05/A0E requisitions directing materiel to various shipping points. (DI AE_ with Status 

Code CX applies). 

 C6.3.2.3.1.3. When shipment is to be made to a CR/FF or to a point 

designated by a CR/FF in response to NOA, a specific code other than an X or W will be entered 

in rp 47. In this instance, the ship-to address will be the address listed in the MAPAD for the 

CR/FF or the address provided in response to the NOA. The mark-for address will be the 

address listed in the MAPAD for the code in rp 33. For those countries which have elected not 

to publish clear-text addresses for rp 33 codes, there will be no mark-for address, but supply and 

shipping activities will perpetuate the rp 33 code in all related documentation. When a customerwithin-country code is not applicable, a zero will be entered. 

 C6.3.2.3.1.4. When shipment is to be made to an assembly point or 

staging area, an XW will be entered in rp 46-47 and a clear-text address will be conveyed in an 

exception requisition. See paragraph C6.3.2.4.3. The rp 33, if required, will designate the markfor address. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 4

 C6.3.2.3.1.5. When shipment is to be made to an address within the 

customer country, an XX will be entered in rp 46-47 and the in-country ship-to address will be 

the address listed in the MAPAD for the code in rp 33. See paragraph C6.3.2.4.3

 C6.3.2.3.1.6. The foregoing instructions apply to all customer countries 

except Canada. For Canada, shipment address codes are contained in rp 46 and 47. 

 C6.3.2.4. FMS Offer/Release Option Codes 

 C6.3.2.4.1. FMS offer/release option codes are used in requisitions for 

shipments to be made or offered to CR/FFs. These codes specify whether shipments are to be 

made automatically or under one of two types of NOAs and will be consistent with the 

conditions of the FMS case agreements. FMS offer/release option codes are not applicable to 

requisitions for Canada since FFs are not utilized for Canada and both rp 46 and 47 are used to 

denote shipment addresses. 

 C6.3.2.4.2. FMS offer/release option codes and their explanations are contained 

in the definitions and terms section of this manual. 

 C6.3.2.4.3. If, consistent with the conditions of the FMS case agreements, 

transportation arrangements for shipments will be accomplished by the U.S. Service, an X will 

be entered in rp 46 in lieu of a country FMS offer/release option code. When an X is authorized 

and entered in rp 46, an X or W, denoting shipment to an address within the customer country or 

shipment to an assembly point or staging area, must be entered in rp 47. 

C6.4. RESERVED

C6.5. REQUIRED AVAILABILITY DATES 

 C6.5.1. Requisitions for FMS and Grant Aid requirements for major weapons systems, end 

items, and concurrent spares will be prepared to reflect the amount of time remaining from dates 

of requisitions until RADs become effective. In FMS cases the RAD will be computed by 

adding the lead time stated on the Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) to the date of 

acceptance by the purchaser. For Grant Aid, the RAD will be computed by adding the ICP 

determined lead time to the date of the order. 

 C6.5.2. The requisition RAD will be expressed as the number of months remaining from 

the date of the requisition to the computed RAD which will be entered in rp 63-64 of the 

requisition. The character A will be inserted in rp 62. This technique enables supply source, 

ILCO, and customer control of requisitions, provides for recognition of firm commitments to 

foreign governments, and helps assure that materiel requirements are ready for delivery by the 

approved RAD. The actual date of materiel availability for calculation of the RAD will be the 

last day of the month depicted by the rp 62-64 entries. Shipment of materiel will be made at the 

time of initial requisition processing to the extent that releasable assets are available regardless of 

the number of lead time months shown in rp 63-64 of the RAD entry. Materiel not immediately 

available should be acquired and shipped by the last day of the month depicted by the rp 63-64 

entries. However, depending on availability, materiel may be acquired and shipped after the 
 Enclosure 1, Page 5

RAD expires unless cancellations are submitted. Appropriate status will be provided to the 

address(es) designated in the requisition. 

 C6.5.3. For Grant Aid, as soon as practicable, but not later than 120 days after receipt of 

an approved funded order, the S/A Departments will place a RAD on the requisitions for major 

items, and the associated support equipment and initial issue parts, as determined by the S/A. 

 C6.5.4. RAD time begins with the date of the requisition (i.e., the date contained in the 

requisition document number (See Appendix 2.14)), and does not have the affect of holding 

release of the materiel.

 C6.5.5. Requisition originators will modify the RADs when contract forecast delivery 

dates indicate availability of items at a time other than designated by the previously established 

RADs. In inter-S/A actions, when requisitions or other documents bear a RAD with a shorter 

lead time than when the materiel will be available, the supplying S/A will promptly provide the 

requesting S/A with status reflecting the true availability date. This will be accomplished by use 

of DI AE_ with Supply Status Code BB, BV, or B3, as appropriate. The requesting S/A will 

adjust all records to reflect the new availability date information. When the supplying S/A is 

aware that the established RAD will not be met, that S/A’s supply source will advise the 

appropriate ILCO that the RAD will not be met due to slippage and internal processing. The 

advice of RAD slippage will be furnished the ILCO by letter, message, or DI AE_ with Supply 

Status Code B3. 

 C. 6.5.5.1. An extended Required Delivery Date (RDD) in an FMS requisition will be 

expressed with the letter S in rp 62, and the number of months from the date of the requisition 

before which delivery is required entered in rp 63-64 of the requisition. The release date is 

defined as 50 days prior to the last day of the month indicated in 63-64. Releasable assets will be 

held until 50 days prior to the last day of the month indicated. 

C6.6. RESERVED

C6.7. REQUISITION PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION

 C6.7.1. Requisitions will be prepared and transmitted by FMS purchasers and SAOs to the 

applicable ILCO in the appropriate MILSTRIP format as prescribed by the U.S. Service. The 

ILCO will transmit FMS and Grant Aid requisitions to the appropriate supply source in the 

prescribed DoD MILSTRIP format. 

 C6.7.2. Requisitions prepared by the U.S. Service for FMS and Grant Aid requirements 

will be transmitted to the appropriate supply source in the prescribed MILSTRIP format. 

 C6.7.3. ILCOs will enter a Cooperative Logistics Support Program Code (CLPSC) 

(AP2.22) in rp 72 of applicable requisitions and passing orders, in order to convey 

programmed/nonprogrammed status of a requisition to an ICP/IMM. Supply support, provided 

under CLSSA agreements, is intended to provide support to the requiring nation on the same 

basis that support is provided to U.S. Forces, within assigned priority (based upon Force or 

Activity Designator (F/AD)) and with all other coding being equal. However, such support 

cannot be provided if the combat effectiveness of U.S. Forces would be impaired thereby. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 6

Consequently, CLSSA support is not to be provided on the same basis as for U.S. Forces until 

after the expiration of a lead time period necessary to augment U.S. Stocks to support the 

agreement. CLSSA requisitions received before the expiration of required lead time may be 

filled from existing supply source stocks only if stock levels do not drop below the established 

reorder point. If sufficient stock balances are not available to fill such requisitions without 

dropping below the reorder point, supply sources will initiate procurement action to fill the 

CLSSA requirement. CLSSA requisitions received prior to expiration of the established lead 

times are considered to be “unprogrammed” requirements. Unprogrammed CLSSA requisitions 

and passing orders will contain CLPSC 2 in rp 72 (AP2.22). CLSSA requisitions and passing 

orders received after expiration of the lead time required to augment stock levels will be 

processed in the same manner as U.S. demands. Such requisitions and pass order are considered 

to be “programmed” requirements and will contain CLPSC 1 in rp 72. If rp 72 is blank when the 

requisition is received by the ICP/IMM, the requisition will be processed as an unprogrammed 

requirement. 

 C6.7.4. Certain FMS and Grant Aid requisitions will be subject to a restriction in quantity 

when it is determined that the total requirement for an item will result in more than 25 shipment 

units. This constraint is employed to preclude the assignment of non-MILSTRIP TCNs, which 

occurs when the number of shipment units exceeds 25 and which causes a loss of identity to the 

shipment. The Services will specify those items of equipment to which the quantity restriction 

applies. Generally, these items will be equipment such as wheeled/tracked vehicles or other 

items when a unit of issue of one each will constitute a single shipment unit. 

C6.8. RESERVED

C6.9. STATUS IN GENERAL2

 C6.9.1. Supply sources will provide status only to the ILCO or other monitoring activities 

identified in rp 54 of AP3 formats. DI AE3 will be used on supply status, and DI AS3 will be 

used on shipment status in response to follow-ups. However, DI AE8/AS8 will be used in 

supply source initiated status. It is the responsibility of the ILCO or monitoring activity to 

furnish status to the appropriate country status recipient. 

 C6.9.2. Status from the ILCO/monitoring activity to the MAPAD status recipient will be 

transmitted through the DAAS. 

 C6.9.3. . Status to FMS customers is sent to the MAPAD TAC 4 status recipient. 

 C6.9.4. Status to Grant Aid customers is sent to the MAPAD TAC 3 purchaser/in-country 

SAO status recipient. 

 C6.9.5. The M&S entry in rp 7 should be zero to preclude unnecessary status output. The 

transmission medium is determined by DAAS. 

C6.10. STATUS UPON REQUISITION INITIATION OR SUBMISSION3

 

2 Revised FMS status procedures last reported as not implemented by DLA (Subsistence). Refer to AMCL 156. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 7

 C6.10.1. General. Status is provided by the ILCO to the customer when the requisition 

enters the supply system. 

 C6.10.2. Service Initiated Requisitions. When FMS requisitions are prepared and 

introduced by a U.S. Service, a supply status document representing the U.S. prepared 

requisition will be transmitted by the introducing U.S. Service to the appropriate MAPAD status 

recipient. The supply status document may also be prepared for CONUS generated Grant Aid 

transactions and, when prepared, will be transmitted to the appropriate in-country SAO. The 

supply status (DI Code AE_) will contain a code A thru E in the third position to reflect the type 

of stock number being requisitioned. It is desired that the latest available unit price be entered in 

rp 74-80; however, this is an optional entry depending on the capability of the Service involved. 

Status Code BU will be entered in rp 65-66 and the ESD in rp 70-73 may be left blank. 

 C6.10.3. Customer Initiated Requisitions. 

 C6.10.3.1. When purchaser prepared FMS requisitions are forwarded to supply 

sources by the ILCO, supply status with DI AE2 citing Status Code BW will be provided to the 

customer. 

 C6.10.3.2. When Grant Aid requisitions prepared by the in-country SAO are 

forwarded to supply sources by the ILCO, supply status with DI AE1 citing Status Code BW will 

be provided to the customer/SAO. 

 C6.10.3.3. The latest available unit price may be entered in rp 74-80, and the ESD in 

rp 70-73 may be left blank. 

C6.11. FOLLOW-UPS AND STATUS RESPONSES4

 C6.11.1. As authorized, follow-ups, modifiers, and cancellations for FMS and Grant Aid 

transactions may be submitted by RCS or in-country SAOs to the sources(s) designated by the 

individual U.S. Service administering the FMS case or Grant Aid program line. 

 C6.11.2. When follow-ups are submitted to the ILCO/monitoring activity, the latest status 

information will be furnished to the CR by the ILCO/monitoring activity. 

 C6.11.3. FMS requisition status will contain DI AE2 or AS2. 

 C6.11.4. Grant Aid requisition status will contain DI AE1 or AS1. 

 C6.11.5. When current status information is not available on requisitions submitted to the 

supply system, the ILCO/monitoring activity may transmit the follow-up to the appropriate 

supply source or provide interim status to the customer pending completion of ILCO/monitoring 

activity follow-up action. In either case, a supply status document containing Status Code BW 

or BM (as indicated by the U.S. Service) and a blank ESD field may be provided to the 

 3

 See Footnote 1.

4

 See Footnote 1. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 8

customer. When requisitions have not been introduced into the supply system, the 

ILCO/monitoring activity will provide a written reply to the customer originated follow-ups. 

C6.12. CANCELLATION AND REJECTION STATUS5

 C6.12.1. Cancellation and rejection status from the supply source will be provided to the 

ILCO/monitoring activity citing DI AE3 and the appropriate status code. 

 C6.12.2. DI AE1/AE2 supply status transactions will not be produced by the supply source 

on FMS and Grant Aid requisitions. 

C6.13. STATUS ON FOREIGN MILITARY SALES NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY6

 C6.13.1. When FMS requisitions are processed and an NOA is forwarded to the CR/FF, a 

DI AE2 supply status transaction containing Status Code BL will be furnished to authorized 

status recipients at the same time the NOA is forwarded. The BL status advises that the item is 

available for shipment and was offered to the CR/FF on the date entered in rp 70-73. 

C6.14. MODIFICATION OF COUNTRY FOREIGN MILITARY SALES OFFER/ RELEASE 

OPTION OR FREIGHT FORWARDER7

 C6.14.1. Unusual circumstances may require a change in the country FMS offer/release 

option code or freight forwarder code for an FMS case or for individual requisitions within an 

FMS case. When this condition exists, FMS customers or ILCO/monitoring activity may initiate 

DI AM_ requisition modifier to change the coded data in FMS requisitions released to the supply 

system. 

 C6.14.2. FMS requisition modifier transactions will be initiated under chapter 2, paragraph 

C2.19. Entries in the requisition modifier transaction may differ from those in the original 

requisition only to reflect changes to one or any combination of the following:8

 C6.14.2.1. Media and Status, rp 7. 

 C6.14.2.2. FMS Offer/Release Option, rp 46. 

 C6.14.2.3. Freight Forwarder, rp 47.

 C6.14.3. Modifiers which change the FMS offer/release option or FF must be submitted to 

procurement for manual amendment of contracts. Customers are responsible for additional 

charges which may accrue. To limit manual processing and avoid additional contract charges, 

modifiers which change the FMS offer/release options or FFs should be submitted only when the 

change is mandatory. When LOAs have not been amended to reflect the changes, FMS 

customers must coordinate with the Service monitoring activity before requesting requisition 

modification. 

C6.15. RELEASE OF FOREIGN MILITARY SALES SHIPMENTS

 C6.15.1. General 

 C6.15.1.1. The procedures to be followed in releasing shipments of FMS materiel 

from storage activities are normally dependent upon the entry in rp 46 of requisitions or related 

transactions. The exceptions to use of the FMS offer/release option code in rp 46 in the release 

of shipments are: 

 C6.15.1.1.1. When the shipment is unclassified and is to be accomplished by 

parcel post/small parcel delivery service, the shipment will be released automatically without an 

NOA regardless of the entry in rp 46 and should be either insured, certified, or registered. 

Evidence of shipment must be provided for all FMS shipments regardless of shipment size,

weight, or value. Classified shipments always require use of an NOA, as indicated below. 

 C6.15.1.1.2. When an export release is required from SDDC under DTR 

4500.9-R , Chapter 203 (Shipper, Transshipper, and Receiver Requirements and Procedures),

the shipping activity will submit a request for export release to the SDDC Operations Center

before shipment. An NOA will be furnished to the CR/FF and will indicate that an export 

release has been requested. The export release provided by the SDDC releasing authority will 

include shipping instructions as coordinated with the CR/FF. 

 C6.15.1.1.3. When the shipping activity determines that the shipment includes 

materiel that is dangerous/hazardous, sensitive, or otherwise requires a high degree of protection 

or control within CONUS, but does not require an export release. Note that Offer/Release 

Option Z procedures must be followed if any unusual transportation factors apply. This 

includes oversize or overweight shipments, hazardous material shipments, classified 

shipments, sensitive shipments, and ammunition, arms and explosives shipments or any other 

factor that mandates coordinated release procedures (this does include Canada). Shipment 

must not be made until a response from the NOA is received. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 10

 C6.15.1.1.4. From SDDC, an NOA will be furnished to the CR/FF regardless of 

the entry in rp 46 and the shipment will be held pending receipt of release and shipping 

instructions from the CR/FF. NOAs for classified shipments will be forwarded to the CR 

identified in the MAPAD. 

 C6.15.1.1.5. For shipments not subject to the exceptions outlined in paragraph 

C6.15.1.1., above, the entry in rp 46 will prescribe procedures to be followed in releasing 

shipments of FMS materiel from storage activities. When FMS Offer/Release Options Y and Z 

are entered in rp 46, notification to the designated CR/FF is required prior to release of the 

shipment. When rp 46 contains FMS Offer/Release Option A or X, the shipment will be released 

automatically, without providing an NOA to the CR/FF. 

 C6.15.1.1.6. U.S. shipping activities use the NOA to notify the designated 

CR/FF addressee that materiel is ready for shipment. A manual NOA will be prepared for all 

classified shipments and certain unclassified shipments for all FMS purchasers except those 

customers specifically requesting mechanized NOAs such as the Federal Republic of Germany. 

FMS purchasers desiring to receive the mechanized NOA will submit a request to the Director, 

Defense Logistics Management Standards Office. All purchasers requesting the mechanized 

NOA will be identified in this paragraph. Procedures for NOA preparation are contained in 

paragraphs C6.15.2. and C6.15.3., below. 

 C6.15.1.1.7 The NOA document, manual or mechanized, will be assigned a 

notice number. The FMS notice number will be the Transportation Control Number (TCN)

assigned to the shipment and created in accordance with guidance in the DTR 4500.9, 

Appendix L 

 C6.15.2. Manual Notice of Availability 

 C6.15.2.1. The DD Form 1348-5, Notice of Availability/Shipment, will serve as a 

cover document for individual copies of the DD Form 1348-1A applicable to each line item in a 

shipment unit. Together, these documents will comprise the original NOA. The data to be 

entered on the DD Form 1348-5 describe the shipment unit, while the supporting copies of the 

DD Form 1348-1A provide individual item data. All blocks of the DD Form 1348-5 from the 

top of the form to the portion captioned “TO BE COMPLETED BY ADDRESSEE” will be 

completed by initiating activities when the applicable shipment units are consolidated. In 

instances of single-line item shipment units, the following data are not mandatory entries on the 

DD Form 1348-5 if they are contained in the accompanying copies of the DD Form 1348-1A; 

type pack, pieces, weight, and cube. All data blocks are self-explanatory, except that the NOA 

date (the date notice is transmitted) will be entered in the block titled “Notice of Availability/ 

Shipment.” The “Notice Number” block will contain the TCN assigned to the shipment. When 

an export release is required from the SDDC, the DD Form 1348-5 will be annotated or stamped 

in the lower left corner “EXPORT RELEASE REQUIRED.” The shipping activity will also 

annotate or stamp brief notes applicable to materiel discussed in paragraph C6.15.1.1.3., when 

appropriate. The manual NOA will be mailed to the notice recipient specified in the MAPAD 

except that the NOAs covering classified shipments will be forwarded to the country 

representative. Distribution of DD Form 1348-5 (AP1.4) will be as follows: 
 Enclosure 1, Page 11

COPY NO. USE

1 Retained by the shipping activity pending receipt of shipment release 

instructions. 

2, 3 Furnished to the appropriate CR/FF address (as designated in the MAPAD to 

receive the NOA) with copies of the DD Form 1348-1A, for insertion of 

shipment release instructions on the third copy and return to the shipping 

activity. The second copy will be retained by the CR/FF. 

 C6.15.2.2 Replies to manual NOAs will be accomplished by two different methods. 

When an export release is required, the CR/FF will furnish specifying consignment instructions, 

if any, and coordinate these or other shipment or delivery instructions with SDDC releasing 

authority. When an export release is not required, the reply will be accomplished by insertion of 

shipment release instruction on the third copy, which will be returned to the issuing activity. 

Shipment release instructions will provide for shipment or delivery of materiel to a single 

destination by shipment unit. Shipment units identified by shipment unit number will not be split 

by shipping activities to accommodate shipments or deliveries to multiple points. Instructions to 

CR/FFs regarding replies to NOAs will specify the need for coordinated instructions when an 

export release is required and include provisions for the following minimum data in the replies to 

other NOAs: 

 C6.15.2.2.1.The complete name and address of the consignee except when 

materiel will be picked up by the CR/FF. 

 C6.15.2.2.2. The date materiel is to be shipped or the date the materiel will be 

picked up by the CR/FF. 

 C6.15.2.2.3. The complete name and telephone number(s) of the individual(s) 

who will be available and authorized to receive on behalf of the purchaser, for the specific 

classified shipment covered by the NOA advising of the availability of a classified shipment. 

 C6.15.2.3. In instances where the shipment does not require an export release or the 

shipping activity has determined that there is no requirement for a high degree of protection or 

control and FMS Offer/Release Option Y is contained in rp 46, the shipment will be released to 

the CR/FF on the 15th calendar day after the NOA date, unless alternate shipping instructions are 

received. When an export release is required, the shipment will be held pending receipt of 

release and shipping instructions from the SDDC releasing authority and if such instructions are 

not received within 15 calendar days after the NOA date, a follow-up only to SDDC will be 

made in lieu of transmitting a duplicate NOA. In instances where the shipping activity has 

determined a need for a high degree of protection of control or FMS Offer/Release Option Z is 

contained in rp 46, the shipment will be held pending receipt of release and shipping instructions 

from the CR/FF. Should such instructions not be received within 15 calendar days after the 

NOA date, a duplicate of the NOA will be transmitted to the designated notice recipient, with the 

same shipment unit number assigned. This duplicate NOA will be annotated to indicate that the 

shipment delay is caused by the CR/FF’s failure to furnish release and shipping instructions. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 12

Two copies of the DD Form 1348-5, Notice of Availability/Shipment, together with the DD 

Form 1348-1A, will constitute the delay NOA. The Service focal point will be advised of the 

problem for Army and Air Force sponsored shipments; the Navy freight forwarder assistance 

office will be advised for Navy and Marine Corps sponsored shipments. 

 C6.15.3. Mechanized Notice of Availability. Except for classified shipments or 

unclassified shipments to be accomplished by parcel post/small parcel delivery service, the 

mechanized FMS NOA is provided to customers having a need to receive mechanized data for 

FMS shipments when FMS Offer/Release Option Y or Z is entered in rp 46 of requisitions or 

when an export release is required pursuant to chapter 202 of AR 55-355, et al. The mechanized 

NOA consists of the following documents: 

 C6.15.3.1. The FMS NOA key document will contain shipment unit information and 

will accompany the FMS NOA detail document. The initial key document will contain DI AD1 

when an export release is not required and DI ADR when an export release is required. When 

release instructions have not been received within 15 days of the DI ADR NOA date, a follow-up 

will be made to the SDDC releasing authority and a delay NOA key document, DI AD3, will not 

be prepared or transmitted to the CR/FF. When FMS Offer/Release Option Z applies and release 

instructions have not been received within 15 calendar days of the DI AD1 NOA date, a delay 

NOA key document containing DI AD3 will accompany the delay NOA detail documents. 

 C6.15.3.2. The FMS NOA detail document will contain line item information as 

contained in the issue/release document; such as, the MRO or DD Form 1348-1A. The initial 

detail document will contain DI AD2. When FMS Offer/Release Option Z applies and release 

instruction have not been received within 15 calendar days of the NOA date, a delay detail 

document containing DI AD4 will be prepared for each initial detail document which 

accompanied the initial key document. 

 C6.15.3.3. The FMS reply document (DI AD5) will always be used when replying to 

a mechanized NOA other than DI ADR. When replying to a DI ADR NOA key document the 

specifying consignment instructions and/or other shipment or delivery instructions will be 

provided to the SDDC releasing authority to facilitate provision of a coordinated (export) release 

to the shipping activity. In replying to mechanized NOA other than DI ADR, the following rules 

apply: 

 C6.15.3.3.1. When shipment release is to be made to the addresses identified by 

coded entries in the MAPAD, the AD5 document will contain an R in rp 60. 

 C6.15.3.3.2. When shipment release instructions are being mailed under 

separate cover, the AD5 document will contain an E in rp 60. The shipment release instructions 

that are mailed may be accomplished by letter, country designated forms, or other appropriate 

communications; however, such instructions must reach the shipping activity within 15 days for 

transactions coded with FMS Offer/Release Option Y. Otherwise, the shipment will be release 

automatically to the appropriate address contained in the MAPAD. The S/A’s implementation of 

these procedures will provide for such replies to be transmitted to the activity designated by the 

RI contained in rp 4-6 of the NOA documents. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 13

 C6.15.3.3.3. When a country replies to an NOA and rejects the shipment 

because the shipment unit contains materiel that will constitute a duplicate shipment, the 

shipping activity will withdraw the rejected materiel from the shipment and prepare a new NOA 

(AD1 and AD2 or ADR and AD2). 

 C6.15.3.3.4. Shipments from Procurement (to be finalized). 

 C6.15.3.3.5. Storage or staging charges may accrue when a NOA response (or 

failure to respond) requires the items to be held for an extended period of time. Any storage 

costs are charged to the FMS case.

C6.16. RESERVED

C6.17. CONSOLIDATION AND MARKING OF FOREIGN MILITARY SALES 

SHIPMENTS

 C6.17.1. Consolidation. The shipment planning process should recognize and assure 

compatibility of codes in requisitions and related documents when configuring shipment units. 

Requisitions with an N or E in rp 62, or 777 in rp 62-64, will not be held for consolidation, but 

the NOA requirements remain in effect. To assure compatibility of codes, rp 30-34, rp 45-50, 

and rp 57-61 must be considered for FMS nonassembly shipments; rp 55 and 56 must be 

considered in addition to rp 30-34, rp 45-50, and rp 57-61 for FMS assembly shipments; and rp 

30-33, rp 35, and rp 57-61 must be considered for Grant Aid. 

 C6.17.1.1. FMS assembly shipments may be consolidated into containers or 

shipment units if under the same U.S. Service program manager, recipient country, customer 

within country, delivery term code, in-country service, offer/release option code, FF code, FMS 

case, case line number, project codes (if applicable), and PD. The criteria for FMS nonassembly 

shipments are the same as for assembly shipments with the following exception; nonassembly 

shipments may be consolidated regardless of CLN. 

 C6.17.1.2. Grant Aid assembly and nonassembly shipments may be consolidated into 

containers or shipment units if under the same U.S. Service program manager recipient country, 

customer within country, type of assistance, project code (if applicable), and PD. 

 C6.17.1.3. Consolidation will also be limited by the following conditions: 

 C6.17.1.3.1. Physical characteristics of items should be compatible with other 

items in the same shipment unit. 

 C6.17.1.3.2. Explosives or other dangerous articles will not be consolidated 

with other items 

 C6.14.1.3.3. Aircraft, missiles, engines, and large (excess dimension) spares or 

assemblies for any item of equipment subject to special handling or construction or requiring 

movement as a single shipment unit will not be consolidated with other line items. 
 Enclosure 1, Page 14

 C6.17.1.3.4. Radioactive or magnetic materiel will not be consolidated together 

or with other materiel. 

 C6.17.1.3.5. When shelf-life items are included in a consolidated shipment, the 

exterior of the consolidated shipping container will be marked under the multipack requirements 

of MIL-STD-129. 

 C6.17.2. Address Marking. The manner of designating ship-to and/or mark-for addresses 

in requisitions is described in subparagraph C6.3.2.3. After determining the specific coded 

entries and their use as a ship-to and/or mark-for address in a given requisition, the 

corresponding clear-text address for container markings will be obtained from the MAPAD.

C6.23. CANCELLATION OF REQUISITIONS

 C6.23.1. The same rules governing cancellation of requisitions for Troop Support (see 

chapter 2, paragraph C2.17.; chapter 3, paragraph C3.27.; and chapter 8) will apply to FMS and 

Grant Aid except for special procedures herein. 

 C6.23.2. When individual line items with a Grant Aid program RCN are to be canceled, or 

FMS cases/program are to be canceled, the canceling Agency/activity will submit single-line 

cancellation requests under the appropriate Service policy. 

 C6.23.3. FMS/Grant Aid single-line cancellation requests will be processed under chapter 

3, paragraph C3.27except that: 

 C6.23.3.1. No tracer action will be initiated for FMS shipments to foreign 

purchasers that move in commercial transportation channels to commercial FFs and are 

therefore not available for cancellation after turnover to the carrier, post office, or FF. Storage 

activities will furnish supply sources with shipment status documents (DI AU_). 

 C6.23.3.2. Supply sources will advise the ILCO of contractual agreements that will 

result in cost conditions if cancellations, diversions, or holding are accomplished. The ILCO 

decide whether the cancellation, diversion, or hold actions will be suspended or continued. 

Decisions to continue cancellations or diversions will be provided the supply source by narrative 

message containing the notation: “Decision for cancellation or diversion by ILCO.” 

 C6.23.4. FMS/Grant Aid mass cancellation requests will be processed under chapter 

8, except that Security Assistance Program mass cancellation requests will be submitted with the 

required codes for identification of one of the following, for which cancellation of all 

requisitions is requested: 

 C6.23.4.1. U.S. Service code and country/activity code (rp 30-32). 

 C6.23.4.2. U.S. Service code and country/activity code (rp 30-32) and project

diversion/cancellation of FMS requisitions will be charged under DoD 7000.14-R (DoD 

Financial Management Policy). 

 C6.23.6. Grant Aid shipments that meet the criteria for shipment diversion under 

mass cancellation conditions will be diverted to the predesignated storage sites of the canceling 

Service by the DTS. Storage sites in receipt of Grant Aid cancellation shipment(s) will report 

the receipt(s) to the applicable Service ICP/ILCO and the materiel will be accounted for as 

suspended materiel pending receipt of disposition instructions. Service ILCOs will provide 

disposition instructions under the provisions of DoD 5105.38-M (Part II). 
 Enclosure 1, Page 16

 C6.23.7. Navy sponsored FMS shipments from vendor sources will be diverted to 

predesignated Navy storage sites by the DTS. FMS shipments sponsored by the other Services 

and Navy sponsored shipments from DoD/GSA storage activities will be diverted under chapter 

8, paragraph C8.5.1. 

C6.24. RESERVED

C6.25. RETURN OF DISCREPANT FOREIGN MILITARY SALES MATERIEL

 C6.25.1. Discrepancies in FMS shipments are reported on a Supply Discrepancy Report 

(SDR) (via SF 364, Report of Discrepancy, or equivalent under DLMS) by the receiving FMS 

customer through the applicable ILCO. The required data entries and procedures for processing 

SDRs are provided by the DoD 4000.25-M, DLMS Manual, Volume II, Chapter 17 (previously

joint regulation DLAI 4140.55, AR 735-11-2, SECNAVINST 4355.18A, AFJMAN 23-215).

 C6.25.2. When it is determined that materiel reported on a SDR is to be returned to U.S. 

supply systems stocks, the U.S. supply source, shall provide the SDR reply to the applicable

ILCO for distribution to the FMS customer. The supply source, or the applicable ILCO, shall

prepare the DD Form 1348-1A, to be used to return the materiel shall contain entries shown in 

AP3.50. All DLA shipments, resulting in an SDR due to a wrong item received, shall be 

returned to a CONUS DLA depot as part of the SDR process.

 C6.25.3. The DTS will be used to return discrepant FMS materiel when appropriate. This 

can be accomplished in two ways. 

 C6.25.3.1. If a transshipment point has not been specified and the SAO has the 

capability/capacity to perform this function, the SAO will arrange for movement through the 

DTS. 

 C6.25.3.2. If a transshipment point has been designated, the transshipment point will 

arrange for movement through the DTS. 

 C6.25.3.3. The transshipment point should be a U.S. activity located in the FMS 

country that submitted the SDR and/or be reasonably accessible to the FMS country. 

 C6.25.3.4. The transshipment point will, as a minimum, provide legible copies of the 

signed DD Form 1348-1A (evidencing receipt) to the U.S. supply source identified in rp 67-69, 

the appropriate CR listed in the MAPAD, and, if requested, to the consignor. The latter two 

copies may be reproductions of the copy furnished to the supply source. 

 C6.25.3.5. Coordination between the U.S. supply source and the focal point listed in 

DLAI 4140.55, et al. is required prior to initial designation as transshipment point of an S/A 

other than that of the supply source. 

 V6.25.3.6. When the DTS is not used for return of discrepant FMS materiel, the 

holding FMS purchaser will arrange for movement through the CR/FF to the activity designated 

in Block 3 of the DD Form 1348-1A. CONUS inland shipments will be effected by the use of a 

collect CBL convertible to a GBL upon receipt. Reimbursement of transportation charges 
 Enclosure 1, Page 17

between the holding FMS purchaser and the CR/FF will be requested by the CR to the U.S. 

supply source identified in rp 67-69 of the DD Form 1348-1A. 

 C6.25.3.7. Regardless of the method of transporting return-eligible discrepant FMS 

materiel, all shipments pursuant to these procedures must be completed within 180 days of the 

date of document preparation entered in Block 5 of the DD Form 1348-1A.

codes indicate the statutory authority for a foreign military sale; the time of payment for the sale; 

whether the sale is to be from DOD stocks or procurement; and whether the sale is to be financed

on a cash or credit basis. The implementing agency enters the appropriate Terms of Sale and 

accompanying type of assistance codes in the “Terms” block of the letter of offer. The 

implementing agency uses type of assistance code for MILSTRIP requisitioning purposes. The 

following codes and definitions have been extracted from DOD 5105.38-M (SAMM), for the 

convenience of MILSTRIP participants. A more complete definition of the codes shown below 

may be found in the SAMM. 

 

CODE EXPLANATION

3 Cash sale from Stock with Payment in Advance. This code applies to cash payments 

in advance of delivery and/or performance for a foreign military sale which the 

Implementing Agency determines at the time of the offer will be from DoD stocks. 

4 Source of Supply Not Predetermined with Payment in Advance. This code applies to 

cash payment for a foreign military sale for which the Implementing Agency has not 

yet determined, at the time of the offer, the extent to which the supply source will be 

DoD stocks or procurement. 

5 Cash Sale from Procurement with Payment in Advance. This code applies to cash 

payment in advance of delivery and/or performance for a foreign military sale which 

the Implementing Agency determines at the time of the offer will be from DoD 

procurement. 
 Enclosure 2, Page 3

6 Cash Sale from Stock with Payment on Delivery. This code applies to cash payment 

upon delivery of defense articles or initiation of performance of defense services 

which the Implementing Agency determines at the time of offer will be from DoD 

stocks. 

7 Cash sale from Procurement with 120-Day Payment. This code applies to cash 

payment 120 days after delivery of articles or commencement of performance of 

services for a foreign military sale, which the Implementing Agency determines at 

the time of the offer, will be from DoD procurement. 

8 Cash sale from Stock with 120-Day Payment. This code applies to cash payment 

120 days after delivery of articles or commencement of performance of services for a 

foreign military sale which the Implementing Agency determines at the time of the 

offer will be from DoD stocks. 

M MAP Merger/USG Grants. The MAP, established under the mutual Defense 

Assistance Act of 1949, originally provided for the loan or grant of military 

equipment, materials, and services (including training) to eligible nations. Since FY 

82, the authority of Section 503(a)(3) of the FAA of 1961 has been used to merge 

MAP funds with recipient countries funds and/or with FMS financing credit in the 

FMS Trust Fund, to make adequate funds available to finance the country’s FMS 

cases. In addition, since FY 06, other authorities have authorized granting of US 

appropriations for use for FMS.

N Section 23 or 24 AECA, FMS, Credit (Non-Repayable). 

U FMSO No. 1. This code applies to cash payment for a FMSO No.1 SSA. The 

purchasing government buys equity in a specified dollar amount of DoD stocks. 

DoD maintains that portion of its stocks for eventual delivery to the purchasing 

government under a FMSO No.2 requisition agreement. 

V 

Z 

FMSO No. 2. This code applies to cash payment for a FMSO No.2 SSA which 

permits the purchaser to submit requisitions for common repair parts and secondary 

items in the DoD stocks of which the purchaser has bought an equity under a FMSO 

No.1 agreement. The use of this code requires the input of CLPSC Code 1 or 2 

(appendix AP2.22) in rp 72 of CLSSA requisitions and passing orders by the 

applicable ILCO.

“C6.3.1.2. Rp 30 will contain the FMS and Grant Aid S/A code (AP2.2) 

of the U.S. S/A responsible for administering the Grant Aid Program line.” 

Comment - I suggest that the DoD manuals begin incorporating the term 

U.S. Service Implementing Agency into their manuals, as it has fallen into 

common usage. 

and 

 “C6.3.2.1.1. Rp 30 will contain the FMS and Grant Aid Service 

assignment code (AP2.2) of the U.S. Service responsible for administering 

the FMS Case.” 

Comment 1 - I suggest that the DoD manuals begin incorporating the term 

U.S. Service Implementing Agency into their manuals, as it has fallen into 

common usage. 

Concur. Change made 

Comment 2 - Note that the activities responsible for managing the FMS and 

Grant programs are the same, but the descriptions of those agencies in 

paragraphs C6.3.1.2 and C6.3.2.1.1 (highlighted in bold above) differ. 

“C6.3.2.2.2. Rp 46 will contain the applicable country FMS offer/release 

option code (A, Y, or Z) or code X to denote that the United States is 

responsible for transportation arrangements, as determined by negotiations 

between the customer CR and the U.S. Service responsible for 

administering the FMS case, and.............” 

“C6.3.2.2.3. Rp 47 will contain a code to designate the recipient of 

shipments and documentation and will be the FMS CR/FF code as 

published in the MAPAD.” 

Comment – The definitions of CR and FF should be provided the first time 

the acronym is used. 

Concur. Change made 

“C6.3.2.2.4. Rp 48-50 will contain the specific FMS case designator 

consisting of a three-position alpha/numeric code. The first position will 

always be alphabetic and the second and third positions may be alphabetic 

or numeric. All correspondence (such as letters and messages) will always 

include the appropriate case designator as part of the identification data.” 

Comment – As Implementing Agencies (e.g. U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, 

etc.) may assign the same case designator (i.e. they are only unique within a 

service), the sentence italicized above should be replaced with the 

following sentence: All correspondence (such as letters and messages) will 

always include the appropriate country/international organization code, 

U.S. Service Implementing Agency and case designator (e.g. BN-B-ABC) 

as part of the identification data.

 “C6.3.2.3.1. The means of expressing ship-to and/or mark-for addresses in 

requisitions are the entries shown in rp 33 (customer-within-country) and rp 47 

(CR/FF).” 

Comment – This statement may be confusing to some. Suggest modify the 

statement to “The means of expressing ship-to and/or mark-for addresses in 

requisitions are the entries shown in rp 33 (customer-within-country) and rp 47 

(CR/FF), respectively.”

C6.3.2.3.1.4. When shipment is to be made to an assembly point or staging area, a 

W will be entered in rp 47 and a clear-text address will be conveyed in an 

exception requisition. The rp 33, if required, will designate the mark-for address. 

Comment – Explanation of the “W” code in rp 47, should include reference to an 

“X” code in rp46. 

Concur. Change made 

C6.3.2.3.1.5. When shipment is to be made to an address within the customer 

country, an X will be entered in rp 47 and the in-country ship-to address will be the 

address listed in the MAPAD for the code in rp 33. 

Comment - Explanation of the “X” code in rp47, should include reference to an 

“X” code in rp46, and an explanation of the transportation responsibility (USG). 

Perhaps a reference should be made to paragraph C6.3.2.4.3.? 

Concur. Change made 

C6.5.2. The requisition RAD will be expressed as the number of months 

remaining from the date of the requisition to the computed RAD which will be 

entered in rp 63-64 of the requisition. The character A will be inserted in rp 62. 

This technique enables supply source, ILCO, and customer control of requisitions, 

provides for recognition of firm commitments to foreign governments, and helps 

assure that materiel requirements are ready for delivery by the approved RAD. 

The actual date of materiel availability will be the last day of the month depicted 

by the rp 62-64 entries. Shipment of materiel will be made at the time of initial 

requisition processing to the extent that releasable assets are available regardless of 

the number of lead time months shown in rp 63-64 of the RAD entry. Appropriate 

status will be provided to the address(es) designated in the requisition. 

Comment – I agree with the intent of the change, but would also like to ensure that 

the RAD does not go unheeded should material not be in stock. Please change as 

follows: Shipment of materiel will be made at the time of initial requisition 

processing to the extent that releasable assets are available regardless of the 

number of lead time months shown in rp 63-64 of the RAD entry. However, 

material not immediately available should be acquired and shipped by the last day 

of the month depicted by the rp 62-64 entries. Appropriate status will be provided 

to the address(es) designated in the requisition. 

Concur. Change made. 

 DLMSO provided 

additional clarification 

regarding actual date 

calculation and order 

fulfillment subsequent to 

the RAD. 

C6.5.3. For Grant Aid, as soon as practicable, but not later than 120 days after 

receipt of an approved funded order, the S/A Departments will place a RAD on the 

requisitions for major items, as determined by the S/A, and the associated support 

equipment and initial issue parts. 

Comment – The paragraph is poorly worded. Does it mean that the S/A 

determines the RAD for the major item, support equipment and initial issue parts, 

or does it mean that the associated support equipment and initial issue parts have a 

bearing on the RAD established for the major item? 

Concur. Wording 

rearranged to indicate S/A 

determines the RAD for 

the major item, support 

equipment and initial 

issue parts.

C6.5.4. RAD time begins with the date of the requisition 

Comment – Is the “date of the requisition” the embedded Julian date (rp 37-40) in 

the Requisition Document Number, or is it actually the date that the requisition was 

received and processed by the ICP? FMS legacy systems are capable of processing 

requisitions up to one year old, and a newly established FMS/GA requisition might 

appear to be “aged” when it first arrives at the ICP. “Old dates” may invalidate 

RAD logic contained in the ICP system, if they are based upon embedded Julian 

dates in the requisition, and may require a supplier to attempt to provide material in 

less than realistic lead times. 

Sentence updated for 

clarification: RAD time 

begins with the date of the 

requisition, (i.e., the date 

contained in the 

requisition document 

number (See Appendix 

2.14)),and does not have 

the affect of holding 

release of the materiel.

C. 6.5.5.1. An extended RDD in an FMS requisition will be expressed with the 

letter S in rp 62 and the number of months before delivery is required entered in rp 

63-64 of the requisition. The release date is defined as 50 days prior to the last day 

of the month indicated in 63-64. Releasable assets will be held until 50 days prior 

to the last day of the month indicated. 

Comment – Is the RDD calculation based upon the embedded Julian date (rp 37-

40) in the Requisition Document Number, or is it actually the date that the 

requisition was received and processed by the ICP? The paragraph should express 

that logic. 

Sentence updated for 

clarification: An 

extended RDD in an FMS 

requisition will be 

expressed with the letter S 

in rp 62, and the number 

of months from the date 

of the requisition before 

which delivery is required 

entered in rp 63-64 of the 

requisition. 

 C6.15.3.3.5. Storage or staging charges may accrue when a NOA response (or 

failure to respond) requires the items to be held for an extended period of time. 

Any storage costs are charged to the FMS case. 

Comment 1 - “Storage” charges and “Staging” charges should be addressed 

separately in this paragraph, as the first is an unplanned event, and the latter is 

normally a planned event, akin to some sort of special material consolidation point 

arrangement and fee schedule. 

Comment 2 – “....to be held for an extended period of time.” Any storage costs 

are charged to the FMS case.” These statements are rather weak, due to the fact 

that they do not express specific time periods or processes. Recommend the last 

sentence be changed to provide the suppliers with sufficient administrative 

authority to initiate billings, as follows: Material remaining in storage for more 

than 90 days after the initial NOA document was provided to the CR/FF, to which 

no response has been received, shall incur storage fees equivalent to the prevailing 

storage rate, as determined by the ICP. The storage fees will be billable against the 

FMS case, and may be assessed on a quarterly basis. 

Comment 1. No action 

taken. 

Comment 2. Concur, but 

requires additional 

staffing. Deferred. 

4 USASAC This action was coordinated with our Financial folks and they indicated there was 

no impact and concurred in the proposed change. Within CISIL, while there is not 

a supporting edit to ensure that unfunded requisitions are not released for working 

capital fund items, the risk is low because if such a requisition were released, it 

would be cancelled by the supply source. 

Also, the execution of these programs are intensively managed, and procedures and 

the execution guidance strongly covers this type of requirement and the need for 

Service funding.

8 DLMSO DLMSO identified a inconsistency regarding requirement for NOA/NOA reply for 

classified shipments when comparing MILSTRIP, MAPAD, and DTR guidance on 

this subject. 

DSCA provide the following as currently reflected in the SAMM: 

"NOAs apply only to LOA line items that use DTC 4, 5, 8, B, C, E, or H. NOAs 

are always used for DTC 8 shipments of Sensitive AA&E items that must be 

routed through a DoD-controlled POE. Although DoD procures portions of the 

transportation for DTCs 5 and 8 (and their Repair and Return equivalents), NOA 

procedures also apply to shipments of materiel released using these codes." 

The following clarifying 

note was added 

(C6.15.1.1.3), and 

MAPAD was updated for 

consistency. 

Note that “Z” procedures 

must be followed if any 

unusual transportation 

factors apply. This 

includes oversize or 

overweight shipments, 

hazardous material 

shipments, classified 

shipments, sensitive 

shipments, and 

ammunition, arms and 

explosives shipments or 

any other factor that 

mandates coordinated 

release procedures (this 

does include Canada). 

Shipment must not be 

made until a response 

from the NOA is received. 
 Enclosure 3, Page 6

DLMSO identified an inconsistency regarding who to notify if there is no reply to 

the NOA when comparing MILSTRIP and MAPAD (including DLMS dictionary). 

The following 

clarifying note was 

added (C6.15.2.3) 

 The Service focal 

point will be advised of 

the problem for Army 

and Air Force 

sponsored shipments; 

the Navy freight 

forwarder assistance 

office will be advised 

for Navy and Marine 

Corps sponsored 

shipments.

DLMSO MAPAD Administrator is in the process of updating the MAPAD 

manual. When it is published, the appendices will no longer exist. This change 

will impact a couple of your changes in ADC 289. Easiest solution is to remove 

the MAPAD appendix references now and substitute LOGDRMS references. This 

change will later sync up with modifications we have made to the MAPAD manual 

while preparing MAPAD for inclusion in the DLMS manual. 

First, I suggest an update to paragraph C6.3.2.1.4. In there you reference MAPAD 

Appendix 1.6. In the new version of the MAPAD manual, we have dropped AP1.6 

and refer to LOGDRMS for the table containing the FMS Delivery Term Codes. I 

would suggest you keep the MAPAD reference, but change AP1.6 reference to the 

link below: 

http://www.dla.mil/j6/dlmso/eApplications/LOG.NET/UIL/Log_Qualifiers/lqvqcDetails.aspx?code=A3 

Next, in paragraph C6.3.2.1.1. we have dropped the FMS Service Code appendix 

in the MAPAD and include the 5 unique FMS codes in the MAPAD chapter. We 

also updated LOGDRMS, highlighting the FMS Service codes with the phrase 

“FMS AND GRANT AID USE ONLY” in the usage column. If you update your 

reference to use the LOGDRMS link below, it should preclude future changes 

when the MAPAD is publish as part of the DLMS.
